Antoinette Clémence

Antoinette Clémence D. M. was born 12 October 1963 in Ouidah, a historic city in Benin. She is the mother of six children, all of whom have had schooling, but one of the children is no longer under her care. Antoinette Clémence lives no longer with her husband; she lives alone with her children and is their sole support for family expenses.
She settled six years ago in the Fidjrossè Kpota borough of Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin.

For the last thirty years, seeking to ensure the well-being of her children and meet her own needs, Antoinette Clémence has been retailing various products from her home (pasta, canned goods, sugar, soap, toilet paper, milk, etc.). She gets her supplies from Cotonou.

Antoinette Clémence is a regular client of ALIDé, and reimburses correctly her loans. She wants to bolster her business and increase customer satisfaction, which is why she is requesting another loan from ALIDé.

About Alidé

Alidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.

Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients.
